FORMAT FOR INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATIONS **OPTIONAL**

Athletes may choose to perform individual routines. This is an opportunity to get individual stage time and additional photos. These routines are not judged and do not factor into placement. Due to the size of this event, in order to allow all contestants to have an opportunity to participate in the 30 second individual presentations segment, competitors will be introduced by name and number only, and take the stage to house music. Athletes will walk to the center of the back of the stage (there will be an "X" marking the spot), strike one pose of their choice, walk to front center stage (there will be an "X" marking the spot), strike a few poses of their choice, then exit. Music submissions from athletes will not be collected.
